Soundbar Top-Panel Controls
Power Button: When the soundbar is in the Standby mode (the Power Indicator is amber),
press this button to turn the SB 16/230 system on (the Power Indicator turns blue.) NOTE:
When the soundbar is in the Standby mode, it will automatically turn on whenever it detects
an audio signal at the Source 1 (analog) inputs.
When the SB 16/230 system is on:
• Momentarily press the Power button to mute the SB 16/230 system. (The Power Indicator
flashes blue.)
• Hold down the Power button for three seconds to put the soundbar in the Standby
mode. (The Power Indicator turns amber.) NOTE: The subwoofer will remain on for
approximately 15 minutes after the audio signal ceases and then will automatically go
into the Standby mode.
Surround Mode Button: This button turns the SB 16/230 system’s 3D Surround processing
On and Off. The Surround Mode Indicator turns blue when 3D Surround is active and turns
white when 3D Surround is not active (normal stereo sound). See Soundbar Surround Mode
Button, on page 9, for more information.
Volume Up/Down Buttons: Press the ( – ) button to reduce the volume; press the ( + )
button to increase the volume.
Source Selector Button: This button switches between the sources connected to the Source
1 (analog) and Source 2 (digital) inputs. When Source 1 is active, the Source Indicator turns
white; when Source 2 is active, the Source Indicator turns blue.
Soundbar Rear-Panel Controls and Connections
Wireless Code Switch: Selects between four different channels for the wireless subwoofer
signal.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to set the subwoofer’s Wireless Code switch to the same channel
that you set the soundbar’s Wireless Code switch. See Wireless Code Switches, on
page 10, for more information.
EQ Switch: This switch adjusts the soundbar’s bass for either wall or table mounting.
If you’re mounting the soundbar on a wall with the included wall-mount brackets, set
this switch to the Wall position for the most natural-sounding bass performance. If you
are placing the soundbar on a table, set the EQ switch to the Table position for the most
natural-sounding bass performance.
Trim Switch: This switch adjusts the soundbar’s input sensitivity so it will work with TVs
that have different audio signal output levels. See Soundbar Trim Switch, on page 10, for
more information.
Source 1 Connection (analog): Use the included stereo audio cable to connect the stereo
analog outputs of your TV, DVD player or cable/satellite tuner here.
Source 2 Connection (digital): If your TV, DVD player or cable/satellite tuner has a coaxial
digital output, you can connect it here.
NOTE: If you connect your TV or another component to the soundbar’s Source 1 connection,
you can connect a different component to the Source 2 connection.
Power Connection: Connect the included DC power supply here. See Power Connections,
on page 8, for more information.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect the power supply’s AC cord to an AC outlet until you
have made and verified all connections.
Power Switch: Set this switch to the On position (press the switch’s white dot) to activate
the soundbar. In normal operation, this switch will be left in the On position. See Turning
the Soundbar On and Off, on page 9, for more information.
